Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

A temporary breakthrough in Chapter 327 is perfectly normal.

Without a moment's hesitation, Sanji shot out.

As he ran, a ghostly blue flame rose from his feet, completely enveloping them.

The next instant, his speed suddenly increased, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Where he had stood, the ground had been melted into a pit, and the rocks had been melted into molten lava under the high temperature.

In the blink of an eye, he was above Bondi Wald's head and kicked down hard.

"Roughly cut, shot!!"

The terrifying kick caused the surrounding void to tremble slightly, and the intense heat distorted the air.

Bondi Wald's expression changed slightly, and without thinking, he crossed his arms and raised them above his head.

At this distance, he had no time to dodge or retaliate; Sanji's sudden acceleration caught him off guard.

Therefore, we can only passively defend now.

boom--

A terrifying sound exploded, accompanied by a horrifying aftershock and the sound of intense heat scorching the air.

Tear it apart!!

Bondi Wald's entire body suddenly sank downwards, and a terrifying force surged from Sanji's feet, pouring into his body and then being transmitted through his body to the ground beneath his feet.

In an instant, a large crater appeared in the ground, and countless rocks were smashed apart.

The next moment, Bondi Wald's expression changed drastically. He felt an intensely hot sensation coming from Sanji's feet, followed by excruciating pain.

"It's so hot!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Bondi Wald suddenly unleashed a burst of power, sending Sanji flying.

However, Sanji continuously released his energy in mid-air, and then gracefully spun around a dozen times before landing on the ground.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground was crisp and pleasant.

Elegant! Timeless!!

At the same time, Sanji didn't forget to strike a knightly pose.

While Sanji was striking a pose, Bondi Wald raised his hands.

After the Armament Haki dissipated, his arm was now slightly charred, and the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air.

Bondi Wald looked grim.

"What kind of temperature is this? Even using Armament Haki can't stop it?"

In an instant, Bondi Wald's fear of Sanji increased several notches.

When he first appeared, his opponent was ambushed and knocked into the sea, and he hadn't come out for so long, which made him think that his opponent was nothing special.

Now it seems...

This guy is almost as threatening as that green-haired swordsman from before!

but--

So what?!

A glint of light flashed in Bondi Wald's eyes once more.

Although Sanji is also quite strong, he is still some distance away from him. His main concern right now is to avoid direct confrontation with his opponent.

He didn't want the opponent's terrifying temperature to affect him, and apart from that, he absolutely didn't think Sanji would be his match in terms of strength.

As for him, he certainly has methods to attack his opponent without making contact.

In summary...

The advantage still lies with him!

On the other side, after striking a pose, Sanji turned his head and glanced at the large crater behind him, which was still filled with smoke and dust. Sensing that the aura within it had clearly weakened, he curled his lip in disdain.

"You spineless green-haired idiot, you got beaten up like this the moment I was gone!"

"It seems our last hope rests on me!!"

Sanji might not have had this confidence before, but just now, he realized a new ability.

Breakthroughs and improvements during battles are not uncommon for Sanji, and it could even be said that they are not uncommon for the entire Canglan Squad.

Each of them has broken through enemy lines more than once in battle, especially when facing powerful enemies, where the probability is even greater.

Just now, although he was ambushed by Bondi Wald and knocked into the sea, it also spurred his breakthrough.

Bondi Wald's attacks are strong, but not strong enough!

It at least caused him some injury, but it wasn't serious.

After all, his exoskeleton had been awakened long ago, and it was quite resilient to striking attacks.

The ability he just realized is, in a strict sense, an ability he already possessed.

He can now control whether his demon form is on or off at any time.

Before that, there is a certain amount of pre-cast time before he enters his demon god form, which requires him to concentrate and takes up some of his time.

Normally, this time might not matter, but in battle, this amount of time can be fatal.

A real opponent won't wait for you to adjust your state before launching an attack.

This leads to a problem: he doesn't dare to turn off his Demon God form casually after activating it, otherwise there certainly won't be enough time for him to readjust his state during battle.

This will inevitably bring about great drawbacks.

That means it takes a huge toll on him, and the time he can maintain his form is only slightly longer than Luffy's, who's a weakling.

If one's strength is enough to overwhelm the opponent after activating Demon God form, then this is not really a weakness.

However, the problem is that when encountering top-tier powerhouses like the Red Earl and Bondi Wald, even after activating their Demon God form, their strength will still be slightly weaker than the opponent's.

That would be fatal!

Because his battery life is too short; the other side has just warmed up, and he's already collapsed.

But now... that problem has been solved!!

He can now control the activation of his demon form with the ease and skill of turning a light on or off, and he can easily cover any part of his body with his demon flames.

While covering body parts doesn't provide much offensive capability, it can serve as a defensive measure!

The temperature of the demonic flames is extremely high, making them very useful against powerful individuals who primarily engage in close combat.

Fight him? Then be prepared to be burned by his demonic flames!!

However, it's not very effective against ranged attacks, or rather, its effectiveness is much smaller.

As for how he suddenly learned this ability...

Don't ask, because he doesn't know either.

It just happened out of nowhere, and isn't this kind of thing quite normal?

Really? Is it possible that someone can't break through in battle?

Therefore, although his strongest ability did not change much, his endurance was greatly improved, which can also be said to be that he became much stronger.

High attack power is important, but endurance is just as important!

and so--

If the green algae head can't defeat the opponent, then let him defeat them!

With this thought in mind, a ghostly blue flame rose again from Sanji's feet, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant...
